Episode summary

Daniel Pink is the best-selling author of books that show the hidden ways to motivate yourself and those around you. He’s the man behind Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, To Sell Is Human and Free Agent Nation. His new book is all about The Power of Regret. Daniel was still in his 20s when he’d risen to be the chief speechwriter to the Vice President of the United States, but he walked away from it all with no idea what he wanted to do next. He decided to bring his wisdom to all of us with his best-selling books. Do you think regret is bad? Wrong. In his new book, Daniel shows how we all need regrets in our lives to guide us through how to bounce back from our mistakes, as well as appreciate our highs. This unconventional view might prove to be exactly what you need.
